Thought I'd start a thread so we can list on who would be able to act as back-up including 'response time' if her dh/dad etc. are non-contactable on the big day.

MrsBigD - happy to drive over and either look after kids or load in Foxie an drive to hospital. Response time: ca. 1h

Thanks for all your support Grrls I will check that I've got asll your numbers on my mobile.

What would be helpful is if you put the times I can and can't contact you tooo i.e. is 11pm-8am a no no? Or school run times? etc etc

Its very reassuring to know you are there - hopefully I won't need to bother you....[fingers crossed].

Anytime after 6am (will turn up in PJs!) until about 7pm any day. After that dd is in bed.

This week I have no evening cover and next week only Thursday evening cover. Following week I have Weds & Thurs cover so can do overnights as well but only those days when Ma is here.

foxabout2pop · 20/02/2007 08:42

Next Thursday it is then! LOL

Can't belive they tried to induce me yesterday!!!

eleusis · 20/02/2007 09:31

I wish I could volunteer my services. But, sadly, I am chained to my desk from 7:30 to 6:00pm Mon - Fri. Actually, I could tuck out at about 5:00 and if they didn't like it I'd smile and say "sod off" (which sounds really stupid in an American accent but I'd still do it).

Foxie, you have my mobile -- even if you didn't know who I was yesterday.

You can call it 24 hours a day. I'll turn it off when sleeping.

foxabout2pop · 20/02/2007 09:57

Thanks Ele - I don't know why your name didn't come up on the screen, as I defo have your number!!!!

quokka · 20/02/2007 10:19

foxabout2pop · 21/02/2007 14:07

BTW the babysitting is only short term in case there is any delay in my Dad getting here and I have to leave quickly. It won't be babysitting for the entire labour LOL!!!

pudding77 · 23/02/2007 09:34
